To all whom #may concern:

Be it-known that I, citizen of Austria-Hungary, and a4 resident of .the'eity of New York,- borough of Manhattan, in lthe county and State of New York, have invented a 'new and Improved- Slee'ping'Doll, of which :the following is a full, clear, and exact description.`

My invention relates to dolls having gravitationally operable eyes. An object of'the invention is to provide a simple and inex pensive .arrangement which will, permit a.

variation of thedistance between the eyes 4to adjustthe sameto'dolls of different sizes.

Another object of the invention is to provide a dollhavingmovable eyes and amovable tongue operable by the same gravita-V tional means which operates the eyes. 'With the vabove and other objects in view,

the nature of which will more fully appear las the. description proceeds, theinvention consistsI in themovel construction,combina J'tio'n and. 'arrangement of parts as herein v fully described,

`It therefore follows that one of' the stems 'is' 'smaller than -the other'- and the.;

is scout-that it isadapted'to 'engage thejsup'- ports'and thereby limit the swinging movie-l ment of .the pendulum and prevent the free end of same from-'striking the top'ofthe dolls head.

The weight of thependulum maybe varied by adding washersll) 'at its f free end. In formingv the triangular opening inthe pendulum forl the stem?, the ma-4 terial is' deflected to form flanges Il .so as to increase the bearing surface of the ing for the stem.
